zen Of this county, died at the residence
of his son, Mr.. Horace C. Osbourn, on

and after returning home had eaten q
hearty supper. He was apparently we'll

night his heavy breathing alarmed his
wife, and he was found to be uncon-
scious. A physician was at once sent
for, but before he arrived Mr.. Strider
was Gead. Mr. Strider was very act
i've business man, and took Il great in
terest in agricultural affairs. AT the
